Doughty scored the game-winning goal, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Doughty has two goals and five assists over his last nine outings. His tally Sunday was his first game-winner of the season, as the Kings didn't look back following his goal 8:46 into the second period. The defenseman has three goals, 12 points, 33 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 21 appearances. His overall numbers are low due to him missing nearly four months due to a broken ankle, but the 35-year-old's scoring pace is in line with recent seasons.

Doughty notched two assists in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

The Kings' offense was mostly covered by the forwards -- Doughty was the team's lone blueliner to get on the scoresheet in the blowout win. He helped out on goals by Anze Kopitar (on the power play) and Tanner Jeannot. Doughty hadn't earned a multi-point effort since Feb. 22 versus Utah, but he has a goal and five assists over his last eight outings. For the season, he's at 11 points, 32 shots on net, 35 blocked shots, 17 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-2 rating across 20 appearances.

Doughty provided a power-play assist and added two PIM in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Doughty has a goal and two helpers over his last four contests. The 35-year-old defenseman assisted on a Kevin Fiala tally as the Kings solidified their lead early in the final frame. Doughty now has eight points, 24 shots on net, 14 PIM, 14 hits and 30 blocked shots over 16 outings in 2024-25.

Doughty scored a shorthanded empty-net goal on two shots, blocked three shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

The Kings took their eighth penalty late, but Doughty was able to bury a goal to prevent the Islanders from making a comeback. With three points over his last seven contests, Doughty is making a decent contribution on offense. The blueliner is up to two goals, seven points, 23 shots on net, 29 blocked shots, 14 hits and an even plus-minus rating across 15 appearances this season.

Doughty notched an assist, blocked four shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Doughty set up Anze Kopitar for a first-period tally. Per Patrick O'Neal of FanDuel Sports Network West, Doughty and Kopitar have factored on the same goal 307 times. Among a pair with one forward and one defenseman, the Kings' stalwarts are tied with another active duo, Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang, for second all-time to Wayne Gretzky and Paul Coffey. Doughty has two helpers over his last four games, and he's up to six points, 20 shots on net, 24 blocked shots, 12 hits and a plus-1 rating over 13 appearances this season.

Doughty registered a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Doughty played both halves of a back-to-back after missing one game due to a lower-body injury. The 35-year-old told media that he will have to play through that injury for the remainder of the campaign, so he could be at risk of missing time if it flares up. He's done alright when in the lineup this year, earning five points, 18 shots on net, 12 hits, 16 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 10 appearances.

Doughty (lower body) will return to the lineup in Dallas on Friday, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports.

EDGE Analysis

Doughty missed Wednesday's game against Vancouver and stated that the injury is something he will have to deal with this season. The defenseman has played only eight games this season as he dealt with a broken ankle since training camp, an injury that cost him the first 47 games of the season. The Kings could go with seven defensemen and 11 forwards Friday.

Doughty (lower body) will miss Wednesday's game versus the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Doughty's absence is unexpected -- he's played eight straight NHL games as well as suiting up for Canada during the 4 Nations Face-Off after overcoming an ankle injury. The defenseman has four points this season. It's unclear if the Kings will stick with seven defensemen in the lineup to cover for Doughty's absence.

Doughty scored a goal, dished two assists, added two PIM, logged three hits, blocked four shots and went plus-3 in Saturday's 5-3 win over Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Doughty did a bit of everything in his best game of the season, which also saw him play a season-low 21:40. The 35-year-old is no stranger to heavy workloads, but the Kings may get more out of him with fewer minutes, especially since the team is deep on defense and finally fully healthy at that position following the return of Mikey Anderson (finger). Doughty is up to four points, 12 shots on net, 10 hits, 13 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-2 rating across seven NHL appearances, and he also played with Team Canada during the 4 Nations Face-Off, so he should be back in a regular rhythm.

Doughty notched an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and four PIM in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

This was Doughty's third game back from a broken ankle which required surgery. He's already jumped into heavy minutes in a top-four role, but he's gone minus-4 so far. The helper was his first point of the season, and he's added four hits and one blocked shot. The 35-year-old has rarely had long-term injuries in his career, but this is one that will likely take him some time to get back up to full speed. Still, fantasy managers should be patient with the veteran blueliner for now.
